Jonathan Colaço Carr

Bonjour/Hi!

I am a first-year PhD student in computer science at Harvard University, where I am advised by Prof. Milind Tambe. I study AI for Social Impact, and I'm supported by an FRQNT Doctoral Scholarship.

I earned my bachelor’s degree at McGill University in mathematics. Afterwards, I did a master’s degree in computer science at McGill University and Mila. My master's research, advised by Prof. Prakash Panangaden and Prof. Doina Precup, was on reinforcement learning and AI alignment. Some of this work I completed as a visiting student researcher at UC Berkeley (with Cameron Allen and Prof. Stuart Russell) and at Stanford University (with Prof. Benjamin Van Roy).

Outside of academia, I like to work with public-interest organizations to understand the impact of AI on society. I've worked with the GovAI Coalition, a network of government officials in the United States, to design responsible AI standards, and with the Democratic Engagement Exchange, a non-partisan political group in Canada.

Please email me if there's anything you would like to discuss!

Thanks,

Jonathan
